Core i7 4790k idle and load temp confusion

[Peter Ricciardi]

I just built my first PC with a lightly auto-overclocked 4790k and a dark rock pro 3 in a phanteks enthoo evolve case. I'm getting idle temperatures that seem a little high compared to my old AMD 6 core on a hyper 212evo cooler. All temps higher than what other people report for my CPU. I'm just wondering what kind of temps should be normal for my setup?
3 programs that monitor temp list it as 32-33*c, 38*c max in cpuid for idle. Max hitting 53*C per core 50*c cpu for heavy tasks. Prime 95 hit 71*c after 20 seconds and stabilized.
My motherboard lists everything else in the PC below 35*c regardless of fan settings, The bundled fan control software keeps trying to turn everything down so that at idle temps jump 5-10*c.
Are these temps normal? I know there not that bad but I'd like to know if I should be expecting better for my setup. Also I'd like to overclock some more later.
thank you.

Those look fine!

Peter Ricciardi,

What is your ambient temperature?

Which version of Prime95?

Which torture test?

Here's the normal operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

Thanks,

Thanks, I know they look fine but I'm just not sure what other people are getting with their Dark Rock Pro 3's and if I should be expecting better--thus I did something wrong in installation.
I'm running the latest prime 95 blend test. Ambient is 21.5-22*c. I haven't gotten above 71*c yet so I guess I'm pretty good. BTW my temps are the highest core temps reported not CPU, Package, or other on-board sensors.
I'm going to double check my old PC, looking online 33*c seems really unrealistic for an old 45nm amd chip.
